Taliban Pepper-Spray Women Protesters

“Taliban fighters confronted female protesters and doused them with pepper spray as they marched through Kabul demanding rights to work and education,” the Times of London reports.

“Dozens of women took to the streets yesterday with banners and posters against forced wearing of the hijab, harassment by the Taliban and the requirement of needing a male relative chaperone, or mahram, to be able to go out in public.”
